Transliteration

tato dharmasuto jiṣṇuṁ pariṣvajya viśāmpate | pramṛjya vadanaṁ tasya paryāścavāsayat prabhuḥ ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Then Dharmasuta (Yudhiṣṭhira), O lord of the people, embraced Jiṣṇu (Arjuna). Wiping his face, that noble ruler soothed and reassured him—an act of fraternal care and dharmic leadership amid the strain of war.
